Fiction
Blackwood, Algernon. B517P
A prisoner in fairyland (the book that "Uncle Paul" wrote). Macmillan.
A retired merchant while visiting the home of his childhood finds that he can transfer
his thoughts to the past and dream over his childish experiences. He helps others
to do likewise and so get out of themselves into "the fairyland the whole world needs."
Cather, Willa Sibert. C28220
O pioneers! Houghton.
Walt Whitman's great hymn "Pioneers, O pioneers!" furnished Miss Cather with
a title, and indeed something of Whitman's vision inspired the book. It is a story of
Swedes, Bohemians and French winning the almost untamable Nebraska prairie land in
the face of difficulties and inexperience. The land itself, "the Divide," is made almost
a character in the narrative and supplies that sense of conflict with the elemental forces
of life which is essential to real tragedy. It is written with sympathy and power, compactly
and with perfect restraint—a book about the actual soil of our country, out of
which has sprung the nation's wealth, its silent heroism in time past, its silent strength
to-day. Condensed from the Philadelphia press, 1913.
